Former Obama national security adviser Susan Rice said one of the reasons former Vice President Joe Biden should be elected is to “consign†the senators who supported President Trump to the “trash heap of history.â€
In an interview with MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell about Sen. Amy Klobuchar’s announcement that she’s bowing out of the running to be Biden’s vice president so that he can choose a woman of color instead, Rice said, “What’s important about what Sen. Klobuchar said and did is that she made clear that this election, and whoever Joe Biden chooses among many very talented candidates, is about getting Joe Biden in the White House. Somebody who can heal and unify the nation and remove Donald Trump and consign him and those who supported him in the Senate to the trash heap of history.â€
She appeared to be referring to the February impeachment trial, when the GOP-led Senate acquitted the president of two articles of impeachment. Sen. Mitt Romney became the first senator to vote to remove a president of his own party.
Rice continued: “We need each of those who have been considered [in the] present or in the past to put all of our efforts, regardless of who he chooses, into helping get Joe Biden elected. And Amy Klobuchar reinforced that that was her priority last night, and I admire that enormously, and that’s my view as well.â€
